I'm thinking about going to watch it tomorrow.

I've heard it's amazing.

I enjoyed it. And I don't usually care for the sci-fi genre.

You don't get to see a film like this very often. It's great. It's epic, it's got action, and it has a bit of comedy too. Not to mention some political commentary thrown in for good measure.

I'm SO, SO glad this didn't get turned into a Halo movie. In a recent industry riddled with sequels, this and Sunshine stand out proud in the Sci Fi genre.

I just got back from this, and I loved it.
I didn't watch or read anything on the movie before I went to see it, and I think thats why I enjoyed it more than others.



*Not really spoilers but possibly still spoilers*



I also have a sneaking suspicion there will be a district 10 movie. Possibly explaining why the ship stopped, and why they were all huddled inside.

I wasn't expecting an action movie to be honest.

I was hoping the film would be more about the sociological implications which is how it started out.

Still, it was quite good.

I kind of was expecting an action movie, and was a tad disappointed.

Other than that, it was a really good movie. And I loved the social... I guess commentary especially considering where the aliens landed.
